- Description/content
- The Master's degree programme in Metallurgy and Metal Forming teaches the metallurgical and metal-physical fundamentals for the production, processing, heat treatment and refinement of metallic materials. The aim is to enable students to independently develop, optimise and implement processes and materials in practice. In addition to in-depth courses in the fields of metallurgy, plastics mechanics and thermodynamics, the course also includes content on process simulation, data processing and project management. This combination of technical and management-oriented skills optimally prepares graduates for demanding management positions.
The Master's degree qualifies students for attractive careers in the iron and steel industry as well as in the metalworking industry. The degree programme provides an excellent basis for advancing innovative technologies in the metallurgical industry and mastering the challenges of modern production processes.
